Well, Cricket, F-1 and Tennis are my favourite sports. I lost my interest on tennis ever since Sampras retired, not that Federer is not as good as Sampras :-), Infact he is better in many ways. Anyway I like Sampras better, that's the bottom line. Can't help thinking about Pistol Pete most of the time. Federer will soon surpass Sampras as a player, if that will keep Roger fans happy.
Coming back to the original subject, I'm immensely pleased with India's win in England. I felt pity for Dravid after India's shocking defeat to B'desh. Ganguly, Dravid and Tendulkar deserved this win, for it's most probably their last series in England. They have started firing as a team after a really long time. Australia do this every match, and India need to do it quite often. I'm also happy for Freddie Flintoff who worked his butt off for 2005 Ashes (He himself would be pretty pleased with series loss :) . Mr.Vaughan better realize that your team isn't going anywhere with out Flintoff, Simon Jones and to some extent Harmison and Hoggard. People often hail Anderson as a good bowler, for me he is far from a test bowler. Monty and Sidebottom are really good uns though were unlucky through the series. Tremlett is kinda 50-50. It's an Alarm bell for England, clearly indicating that their bench strength is *zero* and they sorely miss Troy's services.
Come August, should be an exciting year of Cricket starting with 20-20 world cup. Should be interesting to see how Aussies will perform with out *Great Glenn* and Master spinner Warne. Stuart Clark is good but I haven't seen him much outside Australia, same goes with Lee and Tait. Gillespie is doing well for Yorkshire, it will be interesting if he will offered test spot this year.
